traffic density (not just adding more cars on the streets at all times) 🚘

[neon kettle]

hey so ik alot of people submited this here before but i wanna submit my own too.

so i think traffic in tcm is gonna be better like this :

-day time⛅ = more cars/npc on the road
-afternoon🕓 = most cars/npc on the road at this time in game
-night time🌃 = less cars/npc on the road

-near or in cities/populated areas 🌇 = more cars/npc on the road
-far or outside of cities🏕️ = less cars on the road

[fresh tree]

No thanks

[willow meteor]

Absolutely not

[sly verge]

Why don't we remove traffic instead

[neon kettle]

why dont you like this !?

isnt realistic a bit ?

[neon kettle]

read it again i didnt say remove it all

i guess u guys like the ghost towns we have now

[little forge]

As long as this doesn't apply to summits I don't mind

Some of y'all are too quick to shoot down ideas sometimes. Be fr for a second here, you lot, like me, don't give a shit if it doesn't affect summits.

[neon kettle]

yes ofcourse it shouldn't affect summits!

[raven stone]

Bad idea

[analog yoke]

If they fixed the stupid AI first (like doing U-turns out of nowhere, in the middle of the highway), then maybe I wouldn't mind that much.

[little forge]

Personally wouldn't affect me at all tbh, I don't play this game outside of races anyway

[neon kettle]

why do you think ?

[neon kettle]

well i if they tried to make this happen they should definitely fix ai too

[halcyon tide]

Yea that's never happened to me before

[timber geyser]

I honestly don't see the appeal of more traffic.

[halcyon tide]

When this game was a downgrade in traffic compared to tc2 it should definitely be upgraded

[neon kettle]

i think it would make the game better bc it would make it feel alive

[fresh tree]

Sorry no, increasing traffic density won't make the game more lively

[little forge]

Will it make the game more lively? Yes.
Will it improve the game? Yes.
Is it what the game needs? Arguably no.

[neon kettle]

yes it does. i don't know if you have noticed but oahu roads are dead but maui roads on the other hand have more cars, maybe it is just me but i tested this 2 times and maui had more npc/cars

[neon kettle]

yeah true that, they got lots of holes to fill before adding new features

[fresh tree]

I couldn't care less about number of NPCs unless I would do feats in freeroam and there I don't want to go through traffic jams

[neon kettle]

well you don't care someone else does and if they add this feature to the game they shouldn't include this to feats/summits

[neat flint]

Realistic doesn't equal good. And im tired of saying that everywhere in the racing game community.

[ancient wasp]

ur suggestion is so trash lil bro

[timber geyser]

Arima on Fire 😭

[ancient wasp]

;)_ _

[little forge]

I honestly don't see what's wrong with this tbh
Is this what the game needs right now? Not really. Does the suggestion deserve this level of hate? Not at all imo

[warm wadi]

The dislikes likely come from how the traffic behaves and increasing the density will add more issues to driving
If the traffic had better movement coding I'm sure more people would be open to it

2 years in and they still haven't dealt with it. That ties back into the main problem that is what is it really are they doing at the
studio that they don't have time to address these problems

[bright ravine]

Test driving some cars and my experience is always awful traffic that drive senselessly and just crash into you. So long that the traffic is that dumb, more dense traffic just gonna make freeroam a worse experience.

[fresh tree]

That is another reason, atleast for me, outside of feats

[warm wadi]

The driving back onto the road from a field is the most hilarious
I guess that is realistic in the sense of people driving like idiots irl

[fresh tree]

I like it when you crash into traffic, it gets yeeted into the field, you rewind and hit it as it comes back to the road, sometimes you hit it like 5 times in a row

[little forge]

Gotta love traffic immediately returning to their paths when you crash into them

[warm wadi]

[neon kettle]

well yes that is true but in this scenario i would like more cars on the road and for me it is better imo

[neon kettle]

shut yo bum ahh up lil bro you better pray i neva see you out on the streets

[ancient wasp]

XD

[zealous agate]

just admit you just want more traffic for cut ups, literally the only reason people ask for this.

[neon kettle]

are you slow ? what cut ups ? this ain't no hesi or something like that

[zealous agate]

that is exactly what I refer to, yes. if that isn't it, fine, but most of the time it ends up being just that.

[willow meteor]

[bronze stratus]

we need less traffic

[ancient wasp]

^^

well spawning traffic is too rng sometime

[halcyon tide]

Wrong, I swear i never see traffic but maybe 1 car on 1 road

[timber geyser]

Negative Traffic is needed 🗣🔥

[willow meteor]

Then you're blind

[halcyon tide]

It was an exaggeration bruh, but fr tho it doesn't affect the summit so why not add more, there's not a lot especially on oahu

[ancient wasp]

it affect summits points when traffic randomly kill u. In free mode doesn’t affect unless you trying to get WR for it

[halcyon tide]

There's no traffic in summits besides the rival events and those are supposed to have traffic in them

Besides wr skills are such a niche aspect of the game that there are much bigger issues to be dealt with like the lack of human environment (traffic, pedestrians, etc)

[ancient wasp]

Yes rivals are reasonable

[little forge]

They've removed traffic for summits I think from last season, where have you been

Probably the better question is whether you pay attention to things in this game, you also were against the option to lower cars for some reason

[ancient wasp]

I just don’t like lower cars it kinda affect the suspension randomly bump on the road like jumping for no reason unless it’s drifting car

[little forge]

They're gonna have to revamp suspension tuning for this feature anyway, so why not strengthen them as well

[neon kettle]

heck no, if you played TC2 we had much more traffic and there were no problems

[timber geyser]

Good Sir, People complained about Traffic in Skills/Races there for over 5 Years and nothing happened.
just because you and your friends didn't had problems doesn't mean they weren't there.

[ancient wasp]

Exactly

[neon kettle]

good sir, my post meant more traffic depending on the time and place and i meant more traffic in free roam not in "skills/races"

[neon kettle]

maybe they are the fun police

[timber geyser]

fair, that wasn't really foreseeable 😅

[potent vortex]

@neon kettle i think it would be a great idea

[neon kettle]

nice to see someone who likes the idea

[final veldt]

Tbh this is not a bad idea

The only problem is how they would miss the point making this properly. I don't trust ubisoft when it comes to proper QOL on immersion types. They fail spectacularly and creates more bug and problems than a fix (e.g r6 lore gameplay intergration which later dropped because it was broken) and the game isn't immersive enough for interactive traffic system which unlike games like Assetto Corsa no hesi and CarXStreet and that GTA Online game mode where traffic has a role in gameplay than just its there driving around

[little forge]

If you don't wanna drive just shut the game off man

[lapis jewel]

[ancient wasp]

💀💀

[little forge]

Funnier thing about this is that bro's suggestion isn't even cruiserhead anymore it's just insane

Not even no hesi has rush hour traffic
I mean, has bro ever seen actual rush hour traffic? How tf are you supposed to drive?

[halcyon tide]

Really it just depends on where you live

I live in a 200k person city and its not terrible

But if you go to like la youre fucked

[edgy ermine]

It wud even be super cool if we were able to choose traffic density

or choose time of day if we going by how op wud want it to work

[neon kettle]

well if they make this, i would also like a full version of it, not a rushed one

[neon kettle]

why did you send this link ?

[neon kettle]

not real rush hour just one where cars are more seen but not like REAL REAL life work time

[neon kettle]

well something like that would be good

[neon kettle]

i suggested this before, but someone told me that they would never do that...

[little forge]

It's more a matter if they could over whether they would.

[lilac mason]

If it was a togglable option, go for it. But as is, no.
Also have you seen the AI we have already, its beyond stupid
